First shave with the new Tabac puck after last week's kill. This is the 2021 formulation vegan base, overall very similar to the tallow version. Still Ol' reliable.
Ok, this is a great combo. Both Verbena Toscana and Farina are very citrus forward, VT with added light vervain, and Farina with some spicy scent I can't put my finger on. This could easily be an excellent #AustereAugust setup
Having some fun trying out the first ever eau de cologne and smelling like Mozart. Shoutout to @GeschichteFM for bringing it to my attention in last week's episode.
First kill 🎉! This puck accompanied me through two #TabOktoberfests and many Tabac Tuesdays and now gave its last of 93 great shaves. This kill also marks the end of the tallow Tabac era for me. My backup puck is vegan.
Hunter 9/8" 1/2 custom razor today. Made on my design in #ukraine by ArtRazor. Anodized Titanium scales! Soap is Spitfire, because I needed a comfy shave (man flu alert!). #sotd#wetshaving#straightrazor@wetshaving
Continuing on the smaller razors shelf -- Fili 13 today. Lovely edge, this is my only Fili, as the 14's are quite expensive (considering I could get a custom for nearly that sort of money!). Lovely subtle Taylor's Sandalwood soap too. #sotd#straightrazor#wetshaving@wetshaving
Brace of 1930's Bengall 6/8's today. I'm guilty of not using them as much as the big-ass custom's, but they are lovely razors -- I restored both last year they are doing a great job! Spitfire soap and Bay Rum afterward. #sotd#straightrazor#wetshaving@wetshaving
Custom D&D Kamisori 9/8", 1/4. Chainsaw Damascus, made with the chain that fell the yew used for the base. Insanely good shave on about 4 days whiskers. #sotd#straightrazor#wetshaving@wetshaving
